‘We are a social, eager and friendly band. Players of all levels are always welcome. The band is a member of North West Area Brass Bands Association and Brass Bands England. In addition to performing a number of concerts and marches in the Tameside area, the band competes in a number of contests each year ... The Training Band is open to anyone 6 years or older who wants to learn to play a brass instrument. We welcome both children and adults of any age (it’s never too late!) - from absolute beginners to people who have enjoyed playing music in the past and would love to get back into it but are unsure how to take the first step.‘
